Orkut - proved to be a problem for Google

**vjsreevs** · 21-07-06, 08:44 PM

Google's 2-year-old social network Orkut--which connects friends and friends of friends around shared interests, but does not include blogging or video features--has lagged in the popularity contest. It's still not widely available and has yet to adopt the Google brand. "It proved to be a problem for Google so now they're watching it," said Stephen Arnold, author of "The Google Legacy," referring to accusations that Orkut members promoted gang-related violence in countries like Brazil.

But as Google takes time to tinker with another one of its many young services, competitors are fast encroaching on the company's other turf.
